Scroll wheel problem

A friend and I both have this problem. The scroll wheel on the mouse does not work in new iTunes 7. It works in other apps. It does not even work up in the volume bar. Both Win XP users.

This is probably your issue - all us secondary monitor iTunes users are rallying together on this!

10.4.9 Scroll Wheel Problem - using Safari with a mouse with scroll wheel.

Since installing 10.4.9 I have noticed that when on web sites with Safari, when using the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX1000 Laser cordless mouse (Jan 2005) with Logitech control Center 2.1.3 (latest), suddenly you can no longer scroll using the wheel, in fact the mouse becomes "Dead" (the trackpad, too), so you cannot use the scroll arrows either. You have to quit Safari and restart Safari. Unfortunately this has happened 1-2 times/day and only since installing 10.4.9....... MacBook (May 2006, first ones) 2 gHz RAM.
Any form you are filling-out -- not possible to send, since you cannot click the send button...
Has anyone seen this problem or similar mousing problems running 10.4.9?
Thanks.
Steve Schulte 19 March 2007

NOTE: I have just learned that the Logitech Control Center 2.1.3 is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10.4.9 but that Logitech is working on 2.1.4-- so if others are having a similar problem, then it is not your Mac!
Hopefully this will be out shortly--- and if anyone hears anything, kindly post.

Logitech Elite scroll wheel problem

I have a Logitech Elite Y-BF38 keyboard. The scroll wheel on this keyboard doesn't work with Windows 7, and since they no longer make this keyboard, there are no drivers available for Win 7 from Logitech. I use the scroll wheel constantly and
need a way to make it work. Is there a driver or a work-around that I can use?

Have you tried installing an older driver in compatibility mode??
To Run in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS

Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

MS Usb Mouse Scroll Wheel Problems

Im having this problem on my laptop running arch. I have the USB module loaded. My XF86Config file looks as follows.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
I get output from this usbmouse via (cat)
cat /dev/usbmouse
or
cat /dev/input/mouse2
With both cats, I get output by scrolling the wheel and by depressing the wheel(5th button).
I really don't know what else to try. I have tried putting protocol on auto, and switching device path to /dev/input/mouse2 with no luck.

I have a Twinhead lappie. In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ( Arch 0.6 )
( which is looked for before XF86Config ) I have :
Section "ServerLayout"
# ps/2 mouse not detected
Inputdevice "PS/2 Mouse "AlwaysCore"
# Serial mouse not detected
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Inputdevice"
Identifier "Serial Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
Option "Device " "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
Section "inputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option Buttons" "5"
EndSection
That gets the touchpad and USB working for me, allowing for the fact that I copied it by hand, and may have made a mistake.
This works for me, but I must try 'ExploderPS/2'.
I think it was just a straight copy from whatever Vector-soho decided I needed.
Remember that X 4 looks for XFConfig-4 before it tries XFConfig. that can be a trap, if you edit config and leave config-4 alone, you make no changes to X runtime.

Scroll wheel problems

I have had my nano for few months, and recently it started having a problem.
The right side of the wheel (to advance through songs) no longer works. If I hold it in, I can fast-forward... but it still won't simply change songs.
The left side still automatically goes to the previous song, so it's only the right side that has problems.

Hello GadgetRick
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Use the article below to help you get the scroll ball clean and working again.
[How to clean your Mighty Mouse|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417]
Once in a while I resort to using a small amount of rubbing alcohol to cut thru the oil and grit, then blow out the ball socket.

IPod scroll wheel problems

Ok I have tried everything that I have read up on. SO far I have learned that my IPod that was bought used, is Mac formatted and I run PCs in my house. When I connect my IPod to my computer it shows the Apple symbol and does its thing but it does not download anything. If it comes down to it all I need is this install disc is there any way of getting a hold of this.
Thanks
Aaron

Thank you once again for your help, I have now tried it on a Mac and a PC and still I get nothing. When it connects it acts like it is doing something then it says now disconnect. The only one that shows a sign of working is USB. But I tried everything so far. IS there anything else I should try to make this work before I give up.

Firefox 4.0 - scroll wheel shrinks text rather than scrolling the page down

On some web pages, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll down, the page text shrinks, as if I'd done the appropriate gesture on a mobile browser. Reversing the scroll wheel direction enlarges the text. Moreover, the page down key seems to switch me to another tab, rather than moving down in the same page.
I first thought that the scroll wheel problem does not affect all pages. However, it now seems that it has stopped misbehaving. I just went back to a firefox window containing a page I thought had misbehaved earlier, and the scroll wheel now behaves normally and so does the page down key.
I upgraded to firefox 4.0, and told it to restore the tabs I had had open in the previous firefox version. The scroll wheel had behaved normally in that version.
I have not closed and restarted firefox since the upgrade. I don't recall what version I had been running, but I generally upgrade promptly when a new version is available, so I was probably on the latest of the previous series.

Try to close and restart or even reboot the computer to see if that helps. Sounds that the Ctrl key somehow got stuck in Firefox because zooming is the behavior if you press Ctrl and use the scroll wheel.

Problem Using The Scroll Wheel In Itunes 7.4.3.1

I cannot use the scroll wheel since I installed this version of iTunes on Vista. Has anyone experience this problem and did you find a solution?

Found a solution now for me - I deinstalled MS IntelliMouse, now it works!

Firefox frequently loses almost all navigation (scroll wheel, page up/down) - must exit/restart to clear problem

This problem began sometime when I was using FF 3.6.x. I have since upgraded to 8.0.1, and the problem occurred more frequently than with 3.6.x. I finally decided to create a new profile, and I did not copy any files from the default profile. The problem persists. The problem has occurred regardless of whether I have one tab open or multiple tabs open. It occurs at seemingly random times.
Here's what happens: I will be merrily working along, and suddenly I will notice that my scroll wheel will no longer navigate the page I am on. Neither the page up/down keys work, and the up/down arrows no longer work either. However, I can still navigate by sliding the scroll bar up and down, and the Home and End keys work normally.
Additionally, I can not click on a tab to open it, but I can use CTRL-Tab to navigate from tab to tab.
A new artifact appeared after I upgraded to 8.0.1. Now, when I close a tab while this condition is in place, the tab actually closes and the appropriate page (next to the closed tab) will render, but the tab itself does not disappear from the tab bar. It's in effect a zombie tab.
Sometimes in this state I can click on links and the linked page will appear, and sometimes I get nothing. As a matter of fact, just after I loaded this very support page, the condition occurred. (Which is why I'll be copying this statement in case the Post Question link doesn't work :( )
I want to emphasize that I'm working with a completely new profile, so it's apparently not places.sqlite or any other file that's causing the problem. Please help if you can - I'm considering moving to Chrome if I can't figure this out. In recent days this problem has been occurring dozens of times a day.
TIA.

Well, I was really excited there for a while. Last night I set up FF with the new profile, in safe mode, and then disabled all the plugins. (BTW, I was surprised to learn that safe mode didn't disable the plugins.) Exit/restart, visited some sites, no problems. Then I spent the rest of the night watching hockey (I have my priorities). I left FF up all night, and this morning it was not "locked up", which gave me a huge amount of hope - normally if I've left FF running overnight there's a near zero chance that it will respond. However, I went to Google News, and after I had opened about 7-8 tabs - no joy. Same symptoms. I guess I'll have to check out Chrome or Opera, because I tried using IE8 for a few hours yesterday and it was not a fun experience.
Thanks anyway, cor-el.

Problems with scroll wheel for sound

Hello,
I have a Satellite A300D PSAKCE.
When i bought the laptop the OS was vista. I upgraded it to Windows 7
But when i use the scroll wheel for the sound, at the front of my laptop
image:
http://pan.fotovista.com/dev/2/7/01080772/l_01080772.jpg (the scroll wheel is at the right of the audio output, barely visibly on the picture but couldn't find a better one.)
But when i scroll it (right or left) it also is putting the letter C on the window(if i have a application open where you can type or where c is a shortcut to something). This is very annoying, does anyone know a solution?
thank you.
Thomas

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

Clicking the scroll wheel does not open a new firefox window

I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I use the scroll wheel to click items in the task bar to open another instance of those items. Eg I scroll-click a Firefox or Excel or Explorer or whatever item in the taskbar, and it opens another instance of that program. I use this feature to open a new instance of FireFox rather than switching to the FF window, then using control-n to open a new window.
I just upgraded to FireFox 6 from FF4.x. Since doing so, scroll-clicking the FF item in the taskbar does not open a new FF window. It does, well, nothing.
I installed FF6 on a clean Win7 x86 (RTM) build in a VM. When I use the scroll-click feature in the taskbar, it works as expected: it opens a new FF window.
Things I have tried: A different mouse; updating video drivers (I doubted this would make a difference, but it needed to be done anyway, so I thought I'd mention it); running FF in safe mode (ie with all plugins etc disabled).
I'm doing a little experimentation right now with respect to x86/x64, RTM/SP1, clean FF6/upgrade from 4.x and other differences that might highlight why it works as expected in my VM but not on my physical machine.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem since upgrading to FF6.
Max

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

Some other info:
You know that you can control Photoshop input fields http://screencast.com/t/ApVseKYRxz with the mouse scroll wheel. Pretty handy indeed. You just have to click on the field and spin the wheel and values changing.
The problem:
My mouse wheel cannot control the input fields in this way. I select the field, spin the wheel and nothing happen. When I spin it faster a couple of times, than the values get changing - pretty strange ha? Scrolling normally - do not change, scrolling fast change. But to scroll fast is not an option because I cannot change the values slightly with small increments... There is a bug really...
What I tried and didn't work:
1. Restarted Photoshop
2. Plug/Unplug and change different USB slots for both receivers.
3. Reintalling latest SetPoint Drivers (after uninstall I run ccleaner)
4. Put all SetPoint settings to defaults (because I programmed some mouse keys to Photoshop specifically).
5. Install earlier versions of SetPoint drivers.
6. Set my UEFI BIOS to defaults.
7. Restarted the BIOS to load all the drivers again, but still no luck
(the last think I didn't do is to reinstall Photoshop)
What I have investigated so far:
1. When I restart the computer and run Photoshop it works perfect HA! , but after a seconds it do not words again ...
2. When I stop SetPoint software, when I shut down it, it words perfect.
3. When I unplug keyboard receiver it words perfect, but I do not have keyboard:)
4. Everything works perfect in Illustrator and After effects.
5. Also I noticed that when I scroll images in CameraRaw - http://screencast.com/t/xKnn6cY9 the I have to scroll harder and spin the wheel harder to scroll - the same problem.
6. Also in photoshop and bridge scrolling here - is pretty smooth and works perfect - http://screencast.com/t/75IXMG6Zria
Maybe the most important part - When I start experiencing the problem:
I had same configuration , same everything and everything worked fine.
I installed SSD disk, reinstalled Windows (same like before), updated my BIOS to UEFI. Installed Photoshop and SetPoint and problem started.
Posted same request to Logitech, but want to ask you for help too.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I found a solution.
1. Uninstall your current Setpoint Driver.
2. Run CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
3. Download an older version of SetPoint - http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php
(I used SetPoint 6.15 (x64), I tried 6.20, 6.32, 6.50 , but no luck)
4. Now everything is all right!
Thanks!
Can somebody mark this as solved? Thanks!
